About Me

Katherine Clayton

Bondurant, IA

I'm a stay-at-home mom even though my daughter is now 17 years old. I created this blog mainly because I wanted to be able to tryout for a Design Team (even though it's something I've wanted to do for awhile). However, I will be posting projects and sharing things about my life in general as they occur. :)

Once again, it's challenge time over at Clear It Out Challenge. Time to put away the groceries and put away the bills . . . and get your crafty on. And usual, our AMAZINGLY fearless leader, Laura, has come up with yet another AWESOME challenge for us . . . and it's so easy, peasy!!! So get out your paper, scissors, glue and . . .

Are you ready???

I didn't hear you . . .

Are you ready???

Okay, it's challenge time!!!

Theme: Layer It Up

Stash: Designer Papers\

And you have 1 week to play (till Jan. 20th)

This week our sponsor is:

For this week's challenge, I choose an adorable digi image called "Snow Mail" from StampArt by Kathryne . . . and it came with some bonus sentiments. Here's how my card turned out:

Supplies:

PB&J paper collection by Basic Grey

Indie Girl paper collection by Sassafras

miscellaneous gems

Stickles - Crystal

Liquid Pearls - Opal

Copics -

G0000, BG000 & B000 (snowman & snow)

C1 & C3 (shadow on snow & postcard)

R24 & R27 (bird, heart)

E44 & E47 (twig arms)

B95, B97, Y21 (hat, scarf & buttons)

BG0000, BG000, BG10 ("halo")

As you may notice, this card is a "copy" of a card that I did a week or two ago. This is because I got my themes mixed up this week. I thought this week was to copy a project I did. But when I went to post it, I realized the theme was "Layer It Up". Oops! Thankfully the card still worked because not only did I really like my card, but I LOVED how my image turned out and didn't want to try to color it again. :)

As I said, this is a "copy" but you will notice a few differences --- the banners are different, the red gems are bigger and the turquoise ones are smaller & in a different location. Also, the turquoise paper is from another paper collection --- "Indie Girl" by Sassafras. The rest of the paper is "PB&J" paper from Basic Grey. I also used "Crystal" Stickles on the snow and "Opal" Liquid Pearls on the snowman's hat. So even though I "copied" this card, I think it turned out pretty good (again). lol What can I say? . . . once I make/design something or find a color combination I really like, I like to use it again. Or as some say "Why mess with a good thing?"

Oh my goodness, so glad I'm not the only scatterbrain that mixes up the challenges. I now have a book but that idea is not perfect either. Your card is so so cute, love that snowman, and fabulous amount of the "stash" item.
